Begin mixing the ingredients with a sturdy spoon. Once partially combined, use your hands to gently bring the mixture together. Avoid kneading; the goal is to unite the ingredients until the flour hydrates from the butter and cheese, forming a cohesive dough ball.

Once the dough is formed, transfer it to a clean, lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a cylindrical log, aiming for a diameter of approximately 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches.

Wrap the dough log tightly in plastic film. Place the wrapped dough in the refrigerator for a minimum of 15 minutes to allow it to firm up, which will make slicing easier.

After chilling, unwrap the dough log and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into thin, round crackers, each about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick.
